Local resources

Every county office link
you'll actually need.

Property tax, homestead filing, flood maps, permits, liens, schools and utilities for Miami-Dade and Broward — the same links I send clients, in one place. Not sure what you're looking at? Call me and we'll read it together.

Property tax & records

Look up any address: assessed value, current bill, ownership history and exemptions.

Homestead exemption & portability

File by March 1. Up to $50,000 off taxable value plus a 3% annual cap on increases.

Flood zones & insurance

In South Florida, insurance is often the deciding line item. Check before you offer.

Permits, liens & condo safety

Open permits and unsafe-structure cases follow the property, not the seller.

Schools

Boundaries change. Always confirm with the district before relying on a listing.

Utilities & moving

Set these up a week before closing so you are not without power on move-in day.

Need help reading a record?

Send me the address and I'll pull the appraiser record, tax history, permit status and flood zone, and walk you through what matters.
